Niger Flag

How to identify it

Orange, white and green horizontal bands with an orange disc in the centre of the white. India has a similar palette but a blue spoked wheel in place of the plain disc.

Design and construction

Adoption and legal status

Niger adopted the orange-white-green flag in November 1959 before independence.

History of the design

References record inconsistent proportions in official practice, so the often quoted 6:7 format should not be treated as a universally applied construction rule.
